The 20 of DDT illustrates(說(shuō)明) the problem.DDT，a chemical which kills insects，at first seemed to be a perfect answer 21 many problems.It would control insects that caused dangerous diseases，22 insects that caused billions of dollars of damage to crops every year.Governments permitted and even 23 the use of DDT.Farmers in many countries 24 to spray(噴灑) it on their crops.The 25 results were good：Damage to crops 26 down，and profits went up.However，the chemical had effects which the scientists didn't see in 27 .First，it also killed insects which were the 28 enemies of the harmful insects and which were therefore beneficial to farmers.Second，and perhaps worse，DDT did not kill 29 harmful insect.A few insects had natural resistance(抵抗力) to the chemical.They 30 and reproduced in large numbers.In a few years there were large numbers of insects which were not 31 by DDT，and there were 32 insects which could act as natural 33 on these new “super insects.”Finally，it became clear that DDT was not solving the insect problem.In fact，it was making the problem worse.It 34 became necessary to find a second 35 for the effects of the first.

During our two months on the road，Bennett and I had a really 16 experience with a good，honest 17 and some helpful mechanics.
We were driving east on Highway 10 when our “chick engine” light came on.We limped of a (n) 18 into Las Cruces.We had a real car 19 .Bennett nursed the car into a local garage.By this time the car was missing(熄火)so 20 it was shaking all over.This was the 21 time to arrive at a garage—late Friday afternoon.Service adviser Scott was busy 22 paper work and customers as we 23 our problems.24 he was already “ten cars behind”，he told us to pull the car into the garage.
Lincoln，who we later 25 was one of the two motor technicians，took 26 of our car repairing.He and Scott and some other mechanics stayed several hours after closing，27 the car.
Early the next morning (the shop was officially closed on Saturdays)，Lincoln finally located the 28 and fixed it easily within only 29 .
Later Scott 30 out to us that it was our attitude that helped.“You didn't come into the place demanding this or that.You showed an 31 of our problems on a busy Friday afternoon.Customer's attitude means a lot.” He was right in some way，customers should show 32 and understanding to people who 33 them.34 people were extremely busy，they found way to at least try and help when they are met with politeness.
The pleasant experience I had shows that 35 for other people can always help.
